Help Fairfax's Field

Check this out..I received this in an email from a former classmate of mine.

VOTE for the Fairfax Softball Field!

Frosted Flakes is rebuilding ball fields. Fairfax ( my hometown) is a town of 650 people and could use an upgrade badly on their ball field.

I am asking you to take one minute out of your life and vote on the Fairfax softball field and I ask that you let everyone you know that you believe would vote on their field out of the kindness of their heart. They need new equipment a score board a outfield fence and seating for the community. It would also be nice to have to have a playground area for the children to play on.

I understand that hard times are hitting our economy and this is something that will allow a small town that has always made it on its own to have hope from the kindness of others to vote on field that you may never get to see or your children may never get to play on. I would ask you to vote on a community that has a wealth of volunteers and a community that is wonderful place to live if you would like to vote on our field and give them a chance to have frosted flakes rebuild their fields this is what you need to do.

go to www.frostedflakes.com
click on plant a seed
click on search nominated fields
then put MO and 64446 for state and zip
vote on this Fairfax Softball field

It takes very little time and all the votes would be appreciated! Oh..and you will get a $1.00 off coupon for Frosted Flakes for voting..not bad!

Closed due to economic hardships

Today I was supposed to meet a good friend of mine for lunch at a restaurant down at the river market. As I approached the restaurant I noticed that it looked dark inside. I then walked up to the door and saw the following sign, “Closed due to economic hardships”. It made me sad to think about all the ma and pa stores that have had to close due to reasons just like this. Will things ever begin to get better?

Busy day

Today has been very busy for me. I had so much to do at work and then got home and am trying to play catch up with laundry. Why is it that it never seems to end? I have ordered some more material today from fabric.com. Like I needed any more...right? I found some I loved and I couldn't resist.

I am hoping to make a few more items and post them on the blog soon. I have some ideas up my sleeve. hehe! I have also begun trying to plan another giveaway here on the blog...so be on the lookout! Maybe a valentine treat?

My hubby is going to be a little late tonight, so I am hoping to finally watch Fireproof!

Have a wonderful evening!

Another Amy Butler bag

I made a new bag style for my friend Griffin's birthday.....this was definitely more challenging than the first. I really liked it though and it has inside pockets which is an added bonus. It is another pattern of Amy Butler's. I love making bags!
